"There is current also [an epistle] to (64) the Laodiceans, [and] another to the Alexandrians, [both] forged in Paul's (65) name to [further] the heresy of Marcion, and several others"
I'm a fan of sound judgment too.

You are ignoring the point that I am trying to make. That we have gone thru a process of selection for the (OT/NT) scriptures and a definition of the tenets of Christianity that was not infallible or even sacred. And you are attempting to do the same by using "judgment" as the catalyst for the process of selecting what is sacred writ or not. Not only is it "judgment" subjective and flawed, it assumes a general body of knowledge, theological and historical awareness that most Christians today do not have.
In case you forgot or are purposefully ignoring it, ALL the letters in the NT are the words of the prophets and Apostles of God to His people. They provided the guidance, knowledge and insight, the truthful and correct interpretation of God's word and doctrine to the saints in the early Church. That is what we do today in the Church of Jesus Christ of Later day Saints thru the prophet, seers and revelators.
